Roger Waters Tickets New sponsor coming soon! |

Now in its 14th big year, Pink Floyd A Fleeting Glimpse continues to attract new audiences. The site is widely acknowledged as a great source for Floyd news and has picked up a massive cult following over the years. A Fleeting Glimpse (Or AFG as its become known) is used by a cross section of the Floyd/Waters online community, including new fans & crusty old fossils, who spend all their life researching Floyd. I fit into the latter category by the way, having been a Floyd fan since 1966. My name is Col Turner, and I run this site on behalf of fans all over the planet. Without your contributions the site could not exist. If you have anything Floyd related that you think may be of interest, drop us a line (col@pinkfloydz.com) Don't forget, in the best Pink Floyd tradition, there are several hidden links on this site, can you find them?

Roger Rocks Perth
Here We Go! Here we are on the eve of Roger Waters 2012 tour and rehearsals are in full swing in Perth Australia. AFG correspondent Brad Noack was lucky enough to be invited to the rehearsal on the 25 Jan and you can read his report (with pic) in our dedicated Perth Wall section. We have had a number of reports from different members of the band to say they are having a great time and enjoying the glorious weather in Perth. If you are going to one of the BRISBANE shows, there will be pre-show meet ups at the venue in the 'Stars' bar. We will be kicking off at about 6.30pm on each night of the three concerts there, so look for the AFG baner and be sure to join us and say hello to other like minded fans.. Robbie Wyckoff Was Surprised! There's a nice new interview just become available with Robbie Wyckoff, who as you will know is currently touring with Roger Waters. Robbie talks about his new album, about his Pink Floyd tattoo and expresses his surprise when told that Roger has said he may tour The Wall again in 2013 (We even get a mention!) There's a lot more besides. Check It Out Douglas Adams The Party

Robbie Wyckoff New Album Hot off the success of “The Wall” tour with Roger Waters, the man with the golden voice Robbie Wyckoff brings his soulful rock sound to the mainstream. For those of you who have already seen and heard Robbie in action at a Wall show, you will know that this man has an incredible voice. Now here is your chance to grab a copy of his new album. 'Lose Control' (With thanks for the heads up to loyal Robbie fan Julie) You can read a lot more about Robbie on his OFFICIAL SITE and if you haven't read it already (or even if you have) read (or read again) our EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW from earlier this year. 
The Raging Storm - Our View Some weeks ago we brought you the news of Storm Thorgerson's new book The Raging Storm (Co-written with Peter Curzon). Well we finally got around to sticking our nose in this latest offering from Stormstudios and have to say were more than impressed. The first thing that grabs you is the landscape format, it's very much like opening a gatefold album (Ah, those were the days!) and so you get a much wider view of the graphics. And what graphics they are! The book is PACKED with images 'executed' (Storm's word) over the last 4 years. Just about all images are accompanied by explanations from Storm and, true to his style, are hilarious. This is not a Pink Floyd book, but images associated with them are liberally interspersed throughout. In addition, also featured are Biffy Clyro, Pendulum, Wombats, Shpongle, Disco Biscuits, Powderfinger, Muse, Steve Miller and Pink Floyd and many others. It's 160 pages of pure magnificence and can be ordered direct from TheRagingStorm
